Sorry for not putting up a thread earlier. In tonight’s special election for the state Senate in Queens, it looks like Dem Jose Peralta is crushing disgraced ex-Sen. Hiram Monserrate (now running as an independent) 60-33 with a quarter of precincts reporting.
UPDATE (James): Looking for Colorado caucus results? Democrats have a nice spreadsheet of results, while Republicans are actually forcing you to download an Excel file to see their state of affairs. The Colorado Springs Gazette and the Denver Post are also liveblogging the caucuses.
UPDATE (J): With 56 of 158 precincts in, Peralta leads Monserrate by 61-33.
CONCESSION UPDATE (J): Monserrate has conceded the race. Woo-hoo!
UPDATE: So far, Romanoff leads Bennet by 904-704 in the precinct caucus count.
UPDATE: Romanoff now has a 4764-3248 edge on Bennet after a big win in the Denver precincts.
-1 for honest politics in NY, but at least, +1 for marriage equality.
Problem is, even if some miracle happens where Avella beats Padavan and Nunes beats Huntley, where are those additional 5 votes coming from?

As for this district: not surprised, but still relieved. Though it is sad thousands of people still voted for Monserrate.
I haven’t been paying attention to the Colorado Senate Race at all. Is Bennet being challenged from the left or from the right? Or is it over a issue? The perception of a weak incumbency? Too much for me to pay attention to! lol
Also was the State Senate Seat in New York a Dem Pick Up or a Dem Hold?
According to the Colorado GOP’s Twitter feed (I couldn’t wade through their site to get the exel) with 48% in Norton has 36%, Buck 35%, Wiens 18%.
With Peralta’s Assembly seat now vacant how long before Hiram Monserrate announces his campaign for State Assembly?
Sad thing is he might actually win the Assembly seat.
